Download and Installation

Current notice: Citavi license has been extended!

The current campus license has just been extended again for three years. So you can continue to work with Citavi with peace of mind.

Note: Recently, problems with the cloud use of Citavi have occurred from time to time. According to Citavi, these problems have been solved in the meantime, but we still recommend you to be careful. Therefore, save your projects regularly on a local computer for security.

Also, the Citavi forum is currently not maintained by Citavi itself, the answers there are given by Citavi users themselves. While these are often very helpful, we hope that the company will take care of the forum properly again in the near future.

New version (June 3, 2022): Citavi has just released the new version 6.12. This is currently still being tested by us. So if you have a working version installed so far, wait with the update to the new version. We will give “green light” at this point if it works properly.
